RootsCamp

[Chris Messina]

I'd like to welcome RootsCamp to the BarCamp family. This is an idea
that's been pioneered of Zack Exley (zackexley.com) and Nica Lorber
that I think you all should take a look at:

THE GOAL: A true, no-holds-barred, post-election debrief - bringing
together activists, organizers, consultants, campaign staff,
politicians, local/national leaders and technologists - in dozens of
cities - using the highly effective "camp" format that has taken the
technology world by storm.

As we originally pressed upon the point that the BarCamp model is not
exclusively for geeks, it's great to see the model extend outward into
the political organizing arena!

I'd just like to remind everyone that RootsCamp is happening here in
San Francisco this weekend:

I'll be attending on Saturday, and I know they'd love to have some
BarCamp folk participate. I know it's been a long, conference-filled
week, but I hope to see some of you there!
